I think the cost is around £50. You cannot download recovery software.<BR /></SPAN></P><P><BR /></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">You can check if the Recovery Partition has been destroyed by pressing the ASSIST button when the Vaio is completely shut down - this only works if the Vaio is shut down first. If the Recovery partition is still there, Vaio Care Recovery should start which will allow you to do a full recovery. If Vaio Care Recovery Mode does not start, then the Recovery Partition is not there.<BR /></SPAN></P><P><BR /></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;"><img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.se/html/@13A2E6A3774A8B47B4EC6F04089539E1/images/smilies/063.png" alt=":thinking:" title=":thinking:" /><BR /></SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 04 Feb 2013 23:58:57 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/recovery-mode/m-p/651077#M13035 Blencogo 2013-02-04T23:58:57Z
